I am used to the eyes for the most part, except for the pages (at least one per issue) where Haine is thinking about something or is giving someone a smile and her hair is all over the place and everything is just crazy. :P Now and then my fiance (a professional artist) looks over my shoulder and says, "GOD how can you even look at that?? There's no face! It's all eyes!"
I still really enjoy this series because it doesn't take itself too seriously but takes what the characters are feeling seriously. When I first started reading it I felt like it was very near being a sort of parody of Utena, and to some extent still do, but I feel like despite that, the characters are still very real.
